Sergeant Wayne Lock, of New Springville, was reassigned from the Detective Bureau and sent back to patrol, the report said.

The report said Lock was on duty at the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn when Det. Jay Poggi shot Det. Matthew Sullivan in the wrist last month. Poggi and Sullivan had been drinking while they were on duty investigating a robbery, according to the report.

Two other sergeants and a captain were also transferred to other commands in Brooklyn after the incident, the Daily News said.
